Made the mistake of logging on to nextdoor and the first post was someone complaining that all the people who have replaced their grass lawns with tall + dense natives have left nowhere for his dog to poo.
protip: riding an #ebike like you stole it means frequent chain replacement. 4500 miles is not frequent enough. #BikeTooter

Happy Friday!
It took me all weekend, fighting with weirdnesses from mostly Sunshine but I finally have a Linux gaming VM running #bazzite . I ran Subnautica for a few minutes to make sure it was really working, now loading some more stuff up to really test it out.
Ugh. I did a ton of storage migration work in the homelab this weekend, trying to undo a particularly slow set of file operations, only to find that it's the app that's slow, not the storage. I'm better off having done the work, I cleaned up a bunch of old cruft, but didn't hit my primary goal.

Today in I hate hardware: going into a box to swap in some SATA drives. I get everything powered off, taken apart, took the drives off the old box. I go to put them in the new box..... where the hell are the SATA ports!? Dug around in the box for several minutes, also couldn't find the make of the board for looking at it. Put everything back together, powered it all up, used dmisecode to find the model info. Searched it up, there's a block of SATA ports clearly visible. Go back and peek at the board, don't see the block. Go back and stare at the web browser, back and forth a bit, do I have a different revision? Finally realize the SATA block is hidden entirely under my GPU.
It is Saturday and I am doing kubernetes someone stop me

@jonathanhogg@mastodon.social @michael@toot.mynameismwd.org @jarkman@chaos.social I once asked a very senior HPC developer at Red Hat what keeps him up at night and he said, paraphrasing and pulling from memory that's about 15 years old now, "we haven't created new computer science since the 1960s and I fear we'll exhaust what we know before we discover anything new," and I think about that a lot these days.
